Aeroponics is a dirt-free growing method where plant roots are suspended in air within a 100% humidity, highly-oxygenated growing chamber. Because the roots are bathed with ideal levels of nutrients, water and oxygen, plants grow significantly faster, are healthier and have a higher nutrient content than plants grown in soil.

The AeroGarden® has the footprint of a breadbox and is sized to fit conveniently under most cabinets. The AeroGarden® measures 16" long by 10 1/2" wide by 15 1/2" high when it is first set up with the lights at the lowest possible setting, and 21" high at the highest level. Currently the AeroGarden® comes in only one size.

Cherry Tomatoes and Chili Peppers will grow for 6 months, and you will be able to start harvesting in about 10 weeks. That gives you approximately 4 months of continuous harvests.
Salad Greens will grow for 3 - 4 months, and you can begin harvesting after only 3 weeks. That gives you about 3 months of continuous harvests.
Gourmet Herbs, International Basil, International Gourmet series (French, Italian and Japanese) and Cascading Petunias will all grow for 4 months. You can start harvesting your herbs and basil in about 4 weeks, giving you 3 months of continuous harvests.

Although all of our Seed Kits are very easy to take care of, some require just a bit more interaction than others when it comes to tending and harvesting. See the guide at right to decide which Seed Kit will be best for you:

A planted AeroGarden® can be left unattended for up to 2 weeks, depending on the type of plants you are growing and their maturity. Larger, more mature gardens may need water more frequently.

|

It depends on which Seed Kit you have. You can begin harvesting lettuces and basils 3 weeks after planting your garden and then enjoy continuous harvests for months. Other herbs will take about 5 weeks to be ready to begin harvesting. Fruiting plants will take longer to harvest: about 10 - 12 weeks for cherry tomatoes and chili peppers.

Yes, although this is primarily recommended only for experienced gardeners. There are three reasons for this:
1. Because the plants grow at different rates and have different leaf sizes, some faster growing plants in mixed kits could over- shadow and block the light from slower growing plants. Experienced gardeners will know how to avoid this issue.
2. Our nutrients have been specially designed for the group of plants in each kit. If kits are mixed the plants could be under or over-fed, resulting in less than optimal growth.
3. Your AeroGarden® comes with pre-set light cycles according to kit type. If you mix kits you could be sub-optimizing your plant's growth by giving it too much, or too little, light.
